Field Notes

Description:

"Blue-and-Yellow Macaws" communicate by loud vocalizations or flock calls. They also have highly developed visual acuity. They have very complex social behavior and vocalizations, as do all macaws. These birds are very intelligent and can be taught tricks after gaining enough trust from owners.

Habitat:

Venezuela south to Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It extends slightly into Central America, where it is restricted to Panama.

These specimens is of the zoo in my city, "Ilha de São Pedro" ("St. Peter Island")
